Abstract
A new genus Hayatiola Narendran with the type species Hayatiola macrocephala sp. nov. Narendran and two other species, viz., Omphalentedon dasi sp. nov. Narendran & Sheeba and Platyplectrus yarensus sp. nov. Narendran & Jilcy are described from India. Hayatiola resembles Petiolacus Boucek in general appearance but differs from it in having different proportion of antennal segments, different antennal formula, in having distinct plicae and in several other characters. Omphalentedon dasi differs from O. longus Girault mainly in different antennal formula and in different size and proportion of antennal segments. Platyplectrus yarensus differs from all other described species of Platyplectrus in very many characters.
